Hello Routemaster Men and woman anyone had problems with the bell cord it keeps fraying and can't feed them through the little eyes on the ceiling. So annoying I'm going to get some better cord white if possible as that was the correct colour......HELP

lol i have OCD so i like things labelled and in order and im lucky in that i live on my own so i can have things the way i want 🙂
i had hoped others would share their spaces i pick bits up from things ive seen and im always interested in how others work but it appears a lot come on here but don't comment hey ho
I'll have to get a little man cave made I think mate but this is my first model build so I'm pretty amateur but I am thinking of doing the eddy stobart truck if agora bring it out

Im curious and interested to see other peoples work spaces they use for building their models i have a walk in cupboard i converted in to my "mancave" with everything i need at hand (so far lol it's always being added to and improved ) i thought i would share it with you all and i would love to see pics of your space .. my problem now as you can see is my desk isn't going to be big enough to accommodate the bus once the rear platform is added this model is going to be huge
Very pro mine is my dining room table. Looking at your jars hought it was a sweet shop I was going in to ask for a qtr of cola cubes lol

I am sure the Routemaster never had bare wood flooring exposed.
To quote from some technical information of 1954 " The gangway floor and platform were covered in a rubber/cork composition; bevelled slats and tiles of the same material are cemented down between and beneath the seats. The spaces between the slats facilitate floor cleaning."
I do not think the orange/brown colour is too far wrong but could probably do with toning down with a bit of weathering.
No I didn't think so either the earlier RT's did

hey julian did you get pack 6 delivered with pack 5 ?
Yes mate but no figures so you get an extra one to do got 20 issues I'm going to take my time I done 2 issues going a way the weekend so I look forward to doing them next week did your tracking number arrive they send them with DPD which is much more reliable then R Mail. Don't worry about fitting the cab it fits in quite easy. Definitely paint the fly wheel cover it will look 100% better.

Wonder if Agora are despaching the next pack this week it's getting late took my money out over two weeks ago 😔 😟 anyone have had their's

Hi Giddy, we are a tad delayed but you will be pleased next week. We are definitely shipping Pack 5 next week, look out for an email from us early next week! 🙂
The problem is you will give us a tracking number but you don't send the items. All the tracking number does is tell us that you are sending the item and Royal mail are waiting for collection. and the status dosnt change for a week it supposed to be sent by Royal mail 48hr tracked but it takes up to 10 days very frustrating. the way things are going You'll be taking our next payment before we receive our last months issues. 😕

i asked way back in sept last year and the reply was probably not as the hachette version was more expensive to be honest im un decided whether or not to get them but i would probably just get the driver and conductor if i did

Touch Ups Here & There
in Routemaster builds and modifications

Hello mate looks a perfect match. I done what you did by painting the wires in the engine compartment does look better 👍 I also replaced the bell cord to the proper colour brown makes a big difference I wished I painted the eye holes cream now but didn't want to keep unscrewing them as it might weaken thread.
